09 Apr 2025
|
Middle East Eye

English
| Gaza Strip
Rafah, once a refuge for displaced Palestinians, is being devastated by Israeli military actions as part of an expanded buffer zone in southern Gaza. The city, previously home to 350,000 residents, has been reduced to rubble, forcing remaining residents to flee to a 'humanitarian zone' marked by severe hardship. The article reflects on personal experiences of displacement and the enduring memory of Rafah, emphasizing the resilience of its people amidst ongoing conflict and destruction. Despite international calls for attention, the world has largely ignored Rafah's plight, leaving its fate uncertain.

Once a refuge, southern Lebanese city of Tyre empties as airstrikes rain down
28 Oct 2024
|
the Guardian
|
English
| Airstrikes
The southern Lebanese city of Tyre, once a refuge for those displaced by the Israel-Hezbollah conflict, is now largely empty following Israeli airstrikes and evacuation orders. The Israeli military, through spokesperson Avichay Adraee, has issued evacuation orders to minimize casualties, but these have been criticized by Amnesty International and others for potentially provoking mass displacement. Despite the orders, some residents, including Hassan Dbouk, remain in the city to provide humanitarian aid. The situation raises questions about the legitimacy and intent of the evacuation orders, with comparisons made to historical and religious narratives.

Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire begins as Netanyahu insists militants have been ‘set back decades’
27 Nov 2024

ca.news.yahoo.com

English
| US Foreign Policy
Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to a US-backed ceasefire, marking an end to the deadliest conflict between the two in decades. The agreement, supported by President Joe Biden, involves both parties withdrawing from southern Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized the ceasefire's conditional nature, contingent on Hezbollah's compliance. The deal, based on UN Security Council resolution 1701, aims to separate Israel's war fronts and isolate Hamas in Gaza. The ceasefire is seen as a potential model for resolving the Israel-Hamas conflict. The US will oversee the agreement's implementation, with assurances for Israel to act against violations. The ceasefire is expected to lead to negotiations over the disputed land border between Lebanon and Israel.

The article discusses the escalating tensions in the Middle East, focusing on the potential for conflict between Iran and Israel amid Lebanon's crisis. It highlights the shift in US policy under the Biden administration, which aligned with Israeli demands to escalate military actions against Hezbollah. The assassination of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, marked a significant moment in this strategy. The article also explores the implications of this approach, including the potential for further escalation and the risks of a direct conflict with Iran. The narrative suggests that the 'Escalate to De-escalate' doctrine, while initially successful, may lead to more significant regional instability.
